Preliminary results are presented of an investigation aiming to identify the possible material sources employed by the Romans in the construction of a building of Imperial Age located in Lio Piccolo, now partially submerged by the waters of the Venetian lagoon. Aggregates recovered from mortar fragments are studied by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and compared through principal component analysis to samples collected from potential sources.

Abstract

Preliminary results are presented of an investigation aiming to identify the possible material sources employed by the Romans in the construction of a building of Imperial Age located in Lio Piccolo, now partially submerged by the waters of the Venetian lagoon. Aggregates recovered from mortar fragments are studied by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and compared through principal component analysis to samples collected from potential sources.
